hope

"[It's] funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the daytime."

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream.  A dream you dream together is a reality."

Many are so caught up in their own problems that they cannot see the big picture. Often, seeing the big picture can give one the perspective that makes illusive solutions suddenly easy to visualize. One form of hope can be accessed through stepping outside of yourself and seeing the bigger picture.

"He who has hope has everything."

Hopefully I am dead by the time humans can achieve immortality.

I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word "hope." I don't believe in people just hoping. We work for what we want. I always say that one has no right to hope without  endeavor, so we work to try and bring about the situation that is necessary for the country, and we are confident that we will get to the negotiation table at one time or another. This is the way all such situations pan out-- even with the most truculent dictator.

Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.

...I believe deeply that we canot solve the challenges of your time unless we solve them together - unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have differnt stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction - towards a better future for our children and our grandchildren.  This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people.

I need no warrant for being and no sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction.

Yard by yard life's pretty hard, but inch by inch, it's a cinch.
